Coca Cola? Well, I don't think it's bad, especially if you don't make a habit of it However, since I discovered that Coke is great to unclog the toilet or sink, I am starting to doubt about its benefits...

Black tea is good for us and green tea is probably even better herbal teas are really great...investigate what ailments you have, consult or check out the cure herbs... in an herbalist a manual/book ...and drink your medicine when you are thirsty!
i prefer coffee to tea sometimes but only because it has become a big habit for me daily, to grind the beans, and the routine of making it, soothes me I think.

I secretly prefer the taste of teas.
Chai tea is delicious.
I am addicted to soda's, especially cola, I used to drink several a day when I was not on some health kick, now i only drink one once in a while but once in a while, i will have one every day until i am over it.

I think attitude over food is the best philosophy...though...food is less important than your healthy outlook. Just look at how many live well, on horrendous diets. They dont worry over it and it is fine.

Just like once the smoking was too, before. Maybe it may be true that when you know how bad something is for you it becomes a bit more that thing... bad for you because you believe that.
We must prosper no matter what we have available to eat...so keep the best attitude when you can!
